> 3/80 528i A/C USA
My workshop manual says the front springs for this car are
part number 1 117 396 (the longer ones that Ted mentioned).
Some of the specifications given on page 31-0/8 are:
Relaxed length: 373 mm
Color code paint stripes on 3 windings 1x yellow
Color code paint stripes on 2 windings depending on
spring force 1x pink, white, or green
Coil spring [force] with color code:
red 820-840 lb
none -
white 842-864
green 866-886
The specifications also list a couple of other springs for
528i and 530i as follows:
1 113 320 338 mm for 528i without A/C
1 118 481 368 mm for 530i since 1977 model
Sorry, I forgot to check on strut lengths. I'll do that tomorrow.
